men all the week There will be a set

NOTES AND EVENTS.
This morning, in about an hour and a
half Company c, of Nevada City, raised
the lofty flag-pole, the stars and stripes
were run up and saluted with the twelve
FOUNDER and by the band. Three cheers
were given for the Nevada miners, except
for whose skill the pole would not have
been set. 1t was heavy and dangerous
task, for the pole is old, heavy, spliced
twice and very tall.
Brigadier-General Carey arrived in camp
this morning. He was welcomed, first by
Colonel Shafter informally at guard
mount by the regulars. The artillery regi-
ment then escorted the brigade commander
to its camp, where the guard was turned
out and the due salute fred.
Northumberland j.. F. Sheehan
visited the camp to-day. Major c. II. Hub
bard accompanied General Carey into camp,
where others of his staff met him-Lieut.-
Colonel Gardner, Major Hahn, Major Hub
bard, Major Ryan. and Captain Sheehan.
Just before sunset, and after the dress
parade of the Artillery Regiment, by invi-
tation of Colonel Shafter, the brigade re-
view rendered to General Carey took place
on the parade ground of the regulars.
General Carey invited Colonel Shafter to
stand beside him, and at the inspection
which followed, Colonel Shafter accom-
panied General Carey by the latter's invita-
tion At the conclusion of this ceremony,
the Artillery regiment was drawn up on
the east side of the parade ground, and left
at ease. while Colonel Skaters regiments
dress parade was held. There was present
a great concourse of people. The regulars
were on their "mettle," and at no time
during the encampment appeared so well
or executed the battalion movements so ac-
curately.
General Carey is tonight holding a re-
ception at brigade headquarters, which is
largely attended by Sacramentans and
ladies and gentlemen of Santa Cruz and
officers of the commands.
The signal corps has been hard at work
all day with both flag signals and the hello
graph, and in the use of the latter instru-
ment are being instructed by the regulars
corps of signal men.
Incidents related to the camp last night
were numerous. In the first place. a num-
Der of the guard shirked duty and threw
small guard left.
An officer on the staff coming to the line
without the countersign was put under ar
rest and sent to his quarters by Cadet
Officer of the Guard.
Half the large number of prisoners taken
during the night belonged to the company
commanded by the Officer of the Day,
which occasioned considerable merriment
at the expense of Lieutenant Birdsall.
A group of Artillery privates returning
10 camp late last night through town COM
mitted breach of the peace by ringing a
door-bell and by noisy shouts. A police
man commanded halt, but the men ran
and the officer fired at them and struck one
of the signal corps in the right forearm, in
fiicting slight flesh wound. The wounded
man insists that he was not of those who
created the disturbance, but admits run
ming with the others. Santa Cruz police
men have not vet learned that they have
no right to fire upon those they seek to take
in the act of violating a city ordinance or
Dmitting misdemeanor. An officer
can shoot prisoner or offender only when
no other recourse is left to him to prevent
escape or capture, and not then when the
offense is misdemeanor. But for the fact
that the injured man cannot remain here
he would, he says, prefer charges against
the officer.

over to camp from Monterey this morning,
among whom were c. 81. Cummings. Prof
